    Wheat flower made in Japan for udon
    Natalie T.

    This place runs so well. You can truly make this your own. The food was delicious. Comforting food for sure. You can order your udon plain and add what you like as side from picking up at the bar as you go along. The udon is made fresh in store. It was so good. Our favorite was the tempura. It was crunchy but not too crunchy so it didn't hurt the roof of my mouth. Sad this place isn't local to me, but definitely adding to a list of places I would return to. We were a party of 4, but the cashier took a tray for me without asking knowing my youngest would struggle to carry her tray. They have plenty of seating and although the line can get long, it moves pretty quickly. Would definitely recommend.

    Marugame is the perfect downtown lunch. Super quick and affordable. There is kiosk ordering, which is super convenient and has all the customizations available. I got the large curry udon to-go. I love how they separated the broth/curry from the noodles/toppings to keep everything as fresh as possible. Our take out bag came with all the condiments and utensils needed. Everything was super flavorful, and I loved the chewy texture of the noodles. The large size came with a lot of noodles, so the noodle to topping ratio was not super ideal for me. This is definitely one of my go-to spots in downtown because it's quick, affordable, and delicious.

    So happy they are open! Still fast service and delucious udon. They have many different options but I still love the beef udon with a few shrimp tempura on the side. Affordable and delicious in downtown. They also serve Sapporo beer and sake IF you are not on the clock and working downtown LOL. L9ve this place affordable, delicious and great place for lunch.

    I love Marugame. I think the whole concept is awesome, simple, delicious, comforting food at prices that are hard to beat for the quality and portions you get. That said, the constant line at the Waikiki location always kept me from trying it, no matter how many people told me it was worth the wait. I don't mind standing in line for a bit, but that one always seemed a little too intense for me. On my last trip to Honolulu, I stayed in Chinatown for a few weeks and was surprised to find this location nearby. The best part? No line. Ever. You can practically walk in, order, pay, and sit down immediately. What a difference! The only con I'd say is that they don't open until later in the day, but it makes for a perfect lunch spot or early dinner. My go-to items are the Garlic Chicken Salad, the Nikutama, and the classic Cold Udon. Honestly, nothing beats cold udon on a warm Hawaii day. I also can't resist grabbing a few tempuras, and the shrimp tempura was definitely my favorite. If you're staying in Waikiki, I'd say a quick Uber or bus ride over here is absolutely worth it instead of spending your vacation standing in line.

    Located at Fort St., Mall on the corner. We parked at the executive center after we went to 24hour fitness. You walk in and choose your broth and the toppings. You can also get tempura... shrimp, bread, potato, egg, and chicken- several to choose from- oh and gyoza Very tasty Today I got the creamy broth udon with pork and egg- topped with green onions and tempura flakes (you can get as much as you want-no extra charge) My husband got the curry Nikutama udon- that had beef - egg- he ate it all. He also had this seasoning kind of look like furykaki, but not it was a little (very little) spicy, but so good on top of the udon.

    I always come to this spot in downtown rather than the one in Waikiki because there's never a line. 10/10 for food & customer service. I always order their nikutama udon bowl with extra tempura flakes along with their tamago & shrimp tempura. It never disappoints! Definitely recommend!

    Curry udon with beef prepared efficiently and hot. Broth was hot and tangy flavor with the beef and ginger good combination.Other udon dishes look good..

    Quality udon at an affordable price - definitely one of the best values throughout Oahu! This Marugame Udon location has a range of udon dishes available, as well as tempura and musubi stations in a cafeteria-style setup; grab a tray, place your order and pick up your food, then pay at the register before finding a seat. I had the Nikutama udon, a simple, savory broth with meat, udon, onions, and a softboiled egg. The dish was fantastic; every ingredient on its own was delicious, from the broth to the udon. Combine them all together, and the bowl REALLY hit the spot. I came hungry and still couldn't finish a regular, in case that matters when choosing a size. Portions here are generous. Worth a visit for this caliber of cuisine, and when you factor in the low prices, it's a steal.

    Tasted yummy! Line was long but it moves fast. We waited about 20-30 min for a the line that went to the end of the block. On par with location in California. Udon is cooked fresh and the tempura is also delicious. Love the sweet potato, shrimp, zucchini. Unbeatable for the price. Would recommend coming if you love udon and have not tried it before as the only locations are WA, CA, and HI! Tables turn over inside at the perfect rate so there's always a place to sit even when busy. Pretty casual spot. No table service.

    Took my Mommy Dearest to Chinatown to get her hair and nails done. After that she wanted to have Udon noodles. And I remembered Muragame Udon is nearby and since I haven't ventured out to at this location before. I had the number 1 Nikutama and Mommy Dearest had the number 3 Beef with dashi broth and of course some tempura goodness on the side. The portion size is filling and the flavor was spot on. Perfectly balanced broth and not overpowering. The noodles have a great bounce to it. The restaurant is busy but luckily for us we went after the lunch rush so we didn't have to wait much. Mommy Dearest commented how she remembered the lines is always a mile long and out the door at the Waikiki location. This was when she worked in Waikiki. The Downtown location is clean and organized and the staff are wonderful.

    Incredible operation. We were at the back of the line a block from the entrance, and it took 45 minutes to wait in line, order, eat, and leave. You pick your base udon and there is a tempura buffet you can select what else (and prices vary from like $2 to $6 depending on what you select). They tell you where to sit and the udon broth is delicious! It tasted delicious and we had leftovers. The original size is pretty substantial. Definitely check them out - they are busy for a good reason!

    Best restaurant on the street! My friends and I spent a week in Hawaii, and Marugame Udon was the hit for many reasons! - It's cheap/affordable, like truly affordable! I was shocked at the prices; every other place in Hawaii is double the price! - The food is so good and fresh. The tempura is perfectly breaded and not oily. the noodles are made fresh and the flavor is just sooo good. Perfect comfort food. - Even though the line was long, it was so worth it and went by quickly. I highly suggest you dine in if you can, especially if you're getting the tempura. - The ambiance is definitely more of a grab and go spot with people moving in and out quickly. Definitely worth your time!

    Very delicious Line is usually long but they move quite fast Food is flavorful and hot The fried goodies are crunchy and savory Soup is yummy, udon noodles are bouncy You walk in, grab a tray and put what you want on it Food is made right in front of you Definitely a visit when youre in the area

    What time is the best for minimal lines?

    At the Fort Street Mall location I've gone a little before 12 and have had minimal wait. For lunch I would say the best time is early, at 11 or after the lunch rush 1:00

I made a mistake this time and didn't order my usual Pork Tenderloin Katsu. I tried the Oyster Mix Katsu (Oyster, Shrimp, Pork Loin), and the seafood pieces had way too much breading -- the actual seafood was maybe half the size of the whole piece, which was disappointing. My partner ordered the Bairin Mix Katsu, so I got to try the Minced Pork Katsu, and that was amazingly delicious. Service was great, and we got a 20% Kamaʻaina discount plus parking validation for the Bank of Hawaii lot for 1.5 hours. One lady made it sound like she was giving us extra time, but the website says 1.5 hours anyway. Note to myself: stick with the Pork Tenderloin Katsu or the Minced Pork Katsu next time.

They release reservations about a month in advance, and I highly recommend booking if you're able to as soon as you can. Even with a reservation, there was still a wait. We arrived around 6:45 PM for our 7 PM reservation and they had already stopped accepting walk ins. We were seated around 7:10 PM, so definitely expect some extra waiting even with a reservation. Once we were seated, though, the food was absolutely worth it. We had the chicken katsu, sizzling miso, minced pork, shrimp and chicken, and a katsu sandwich to go. The chicken katsu was AMAZING and easily the best katsu we had on the island. The sizzling miso was also amazing, and the shrimp and chicken was great. The minced pork was probably our least favorite, but still decent. And the katsu sandwich we took to go was amazing as well. I also really enjoyed the sesame at the table. You grind it yourself and then mix in the sauce, so you get that fresh sesame flavor right before eating. It was a fun little part of the meal and made the whole experience feel more interactive. The only real downside was how cramped the table for two felt once all the dishes, side dishes, sauces, and everything else arrived. There is a lot going on at the table, so there isn't much room to spare. My only real complaint was actually how they handle the waiting area. The space is tiny and was absolutely packed with people waiting to be called. They told us to wait inside, but there was plenty of room outside where people could have waited instead. It would have made the tiny indoor area much less crowded and easier for everyone.

Especially, this hurt most when there was a rude lady staff passing out toppings. My family member had kindly requested for green onions a few times, and mind you again, we did not have a line when we entered in, but this lady snickered and ignored her request. I had to sternly request for green onions which eventually happened. The service should not be this way. This is an amazing restaurant, but the experience was utterly ruined from that service experience.

They also provide three types of salt to use on the tempura. The servers were very attentive and sweet. The price of the dishes are a little higher but is normal for an late night izakaya. Can't wait to come again!

    Izakaya Tenkichi - Steep stairs. Much easier to navigate going up. Going down after some adult beverages? Better use the handrail

    Izakaya Tenkichi - Yuzu Cheese Cake ($5.50) - really sweet, especially with the granola. Would recommend getting a different dessert.

    We were waiting for our hotel room to be ready and wanted to grab some food since we were starving…read moreafter the flight. I was so happy to found that the Musubi Cafe was located nearby. We ended grabbing the unagi musubi, shrimp egg musubi, and their poke. It is a super quick grab and go experience. Our total was 22.14, which I don't think is too bad. The flavors of the musubis are soooo good! Everything was made so deliciously and fresh. It could get a bit messy eating it though because of the sauce, so make sure to grab napkins! Overall, I was really happy to have stopped by here for some quick lunch!

    This Musubi Cafe is one of my favorite spots to grab a quick bite. They're open around 6:30 AM in…read morethe morning, and surprisingly you'll find a long line inside this cafe. There are 2-4 seats in this space, but you won't find anyone sitting at this cafe. Usually, it is grab and go. I was impressed with their various options. They have salmon musubi, tuna mayo musubi, and many more. My personal favorite is the chicken musubi, and I would usually buy it before I go off on a big adventure on the island or after my swim at Waikiki Beach. The staff here are kind, patient, and friendly. I wish I knew they had a stamp card because they actually do. I buy from them a lot. Along with musubi and sushi, you'll find that they sell trinkets, bags, and other souvenirs. Be sure to come by. They are handmade and fantastic!
